t= 5
t= 5
9600
To find the number of bacteria after 5 hours, we substitute t=5 into the function B(t) = 300(2)^t.
B(5) = 300(2)^5
B(5) = 300(32)
B(5) = 9600
Therefore, there are 9600 bacteria after 5 hours.
Is this correct just want to make sure
I apologize for the mistake. Upon reevaluating the expression B(5) = 300(2)^5, the correct solution is:
B(5) = 300(2)^5
B(5) = 300(32)
B(5) = 9600
Therefore, there are 9600 bacteria after 5 hours.
Thank you
You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
To find the number of bacteria after 5 hours, we need to substitute t=5 into the given function B(t) = 300(2)^t.
B(5) = 300(2)^5
B(5) = 300(32)
B(5) = 9600
Therefore, there are 9600 bacteria after 5 hours.
To find the number of bacteria after 5 hours using the given function B(t) = 300(2)^t, you need to substitute t = 5 into the equation.
So, B(5) = 300(2)^5 = 300(2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2) = 300 x 32 = 9600.
Therefore, there are 9600 bacteria after 5 hours.
